I think they COULD allow 2 buck per year. Make the first buck tag the general one inclusive in your license purchase. Allow hunters the opportunity to purchase a second "trophy" tag for a decent chunk of change....let's just use $40 or so for a example.
How do you think rifle hunters would react to allowing archers to harvest two buck before rifle hunters even set foot in the woods?

You have absolutely no evidence to support your delusional contention that 10K bucks die each year from nonhunting mortality.
Now try again AR is not HR...... HR is not AR
Now try again AR is not HR...... HR is not AR
The same thing happened in Miss. and it is just common sense when you consider that the PGC uses an 18% non-hunting mortality rate for bucks.

I have more than enough evidence to support my position. All you have to do is total the number of bucks saved by ARs and subtract the number of 2.5+ buck harvested and see if you don't come up with over 10K buck /yr. missing in action.

Then I guess the PGC would have no choice but to shorten archery season so the few bucks that would be left could breed the emaining doe undisturbed.

BTW, I would make the second buck tag archery only, and NO crossbows. Two buck tags in rifle season would kill too many. Crossbows might already accomplish this feat by themselves. I think success rates would have to be low, but to those who succeed it would be worth the extra $.

Might have to anyway. If recent sales are any indicator, it's going to be alot more crowded in October this year.[:@]

I dont support 2 tags for buck. That would be rediculous overkill.
We already are killing too many deer thanks to the ecoextremist deer plan. And now, the fact an extreme shortcut has been introduced to archery season and the crossgun is now in able bodied mens hands who've greedilystripped the sole usage from the handicapped...and that equals even more unwarranted deer slaughter thanks to pgc asnine decision and their unwillingness even prior to it to set APPROPRIATE allocations.

Yes, I was being sarcastic. And yes, I don't put anything past the BOC these days. I heard they are considering fully automatic weapons for the latemuzzleloader hunt next year. As of course they should be. They surely have as much place there as the xbows in regular archery season. (More sarcasm.)
